[F20C]

lol so i called honda, i never knew our major was just over 1k -.- plus he also said its upto you when one would get a major some s2000's dont need it till 100k-120ks to get a major done.. depending on how often the car has been driven.. So im thinking leaving it till then, as its only been an everyday car for about a year now.. it was a weekend car from 01-08 apparently.. according to previous owners lol.. What do you guys think? or is he completely wrong, the honda tech that is..

hi guys
i need help with engine oil. Im currently using castrol 10-w40 oil but ive noticed that the s2k is using still to much oil. the car has done 120,000kms now and ive been told that apparently i need thicker oil such as 10-w50 and so on. Im hopefully going down to a honda dealer in essendon tomorrow to get some advice on oil but would appreciate some input and advice from the real honda drivers.

Check your PCV valve to see if it is worn. Test using air pressure. Otherwise, just change it since it is a cheap part.

the major service is at intervals of 40,000km

the biggest one being at 80,000 and 160,000kms

Get a list of what is done during a major service.

Is it just an oil & filter change, valve adjustment, brake fluid flush? Or do they also do a diff fluid change, transmission fluid change, accessory belt replacement and fuel filter replacement?

[F20C]

nah the minor is just a oil and air filter change for $240, the major is replacing all fluids + filters.. I dont need the oil filter done as i just did that today lol.. Is there a tutorial around for doing this stuff yourself?

[chicken8]

the major is valve clearance adjustments and diff fluid

[F20C]

no way thats all a major could be. because diff fluid is $115 no way valve adjustments can be 1k in price..

[chicken8]

i didnt say that was all

you said major was just all fluids

i was merely stating what else is in it

i don't know why i bother coming into your threads. most of the time its a completely stupid thread

[F20C]

the major is valve clearance adjustments and diff fluid

Your an idiot you just implied thats all a major is. And if you read what i said it says; All fluids + filters. I didnt just say its only fluids did i? And if you think its stupid because im asking a question on where to get my car serviced dont come into the thread its that simple? So you sir are an idiot, congrats on reading btw.

[chicken8]

i didnt know filters include valve clearance

and all the questions you ask are answered in your manual

and the majority of your threads are stupid in my mind. and you'll note that i was blaming myself for coming into your threads

wow diff fluid is $115?

that would mean $101 labour charge just to drain and put new fluid back in.... haha.... 15 minute job... so yeah $1000 is expected for a 'MAJOR' service... just sounds big so charge big.

Again can you read? You implied that was all. I also did the same and yes i was mistaken there was that but atleast im not that retarded to admit it. So everything i ask is in my manual? So lets go with the thread about my gearbox which you would have definatly read without a doubt. I can bet that in there it doesnt say anything on how to fix my gear. whiteAP1's advice worked great. Maybe im on here to get information from others on where to get it done or if its worth doing it myself. So again congrats on reading retard.
